Counsel of Record: Cori Molloy

Case Summary: Cori Molloy successfully represented the claimant father in this groundbreaking family law case, securing an increase in parenting time. This landmark decision—the first in BC to consider a multi-parent agreement—reflects the evolving dynamics of Canadian families and reinforces that a child’s best interests are served by fostering relationships with all of their parents.

The case presented unique challenges, with the claimant facing opposition from two aligned parents. Despite the complexities, Cori effectively advocated for the claimant’s role in the child’s life. A key aspect of the case was the court’s decision to deny the respondent’s request for a section 211 report, often considered the “eyes and ears” of the court in parenting matters. The judge ruled that the request was an “attempt to create parenting controversies where none exist,” setting a significant precedent that may deter the misuse of such reports as litigation tactics in future cases.
